Sure, just like there is nothing stopping them doing the same with apt/yum/etc... the things is that they don't. SO if they stop publishing their native packages and push to a handful of central repos I'm forced into a 1:N trust situation rather than the 1:1 it should be.
- TingPing 8y agoBut they do? VSCode, Spotify, Chrome, etc are all custom repos just for their software.
- deadbunny 8y agoAre they? I can't find the existence of a flatpack repo for any of those apps, all are just in global flathub/snapcraft repos. I'm happy to be wrong but I can't see anything that backs up your claim.
